Is the glass half empty or half full? People have been arguing their point on this for decades. Those with a negative world view will see the glass as lacking something, whereas individuals who see the world in a more positive light are happy to see the glass has something in it at all. This argument has begun resonating in the world of psychology. Traditional models of psychology seek to find weaknesses and evaluate them. Positive psychology takes the opposite approach by searching for an individual's strengths. Refocusing on the positive can help people feel more capable and powerful just by finding and nurturing strengths they already have. Many therapists utilize positive psychology practices and techniques in their treatment plans. One example of this is when a therapist asks their client to write down three good things that happened to them and the possible cause(s) for this every day for a week. The goal of this task is to help people initiate a shift towards a positive focus. Positive psychology techniques have been found to have a positive impact on those who experience them in therapy. If you are interested in finding out if this is the right modality for you, please call or email one of the Philadelphia MFT therapists for more information.

Hi my name is Tiona and I am currently a junior in a Bachelor Psychology program for my undergraduate. I am starting to think about grad schools but am having a hard time finding a school that has a MFT counseling program that has a emphasis or orientation in Positive Psychology. If it is alright I have a few questions for you:
Do I need to get a Masters in Positive Psychology and Counseling?
What is applied positive psychology and is it different then a regular positive psychology program?
And how can a become a child counselor or MFT with a positive psychology orientation?
